Acquire knowledge, St.Gallen-style.
Open up career opportunities.
Replace uncertainty with confidence through our St.Gallen degree programs. These compact and practice-oriented study programs cover essential topics such as Management, Leadership, Personal Excellence, and Change Management. Designed for every career and experience level, our programs offer tailored learning paths to fit your professional needs.
What sets us apart? A strong foundation in St.Gallen’s renowned management and leadership frameworks, effective teaching from expert instructors, and a study structure precisely aligned with real-world practice.
Take the next big step on your path to success. While the acquisition of specific, topic-based competence lends itself to seminars and conferences, medium- and longterm careers and personality development require a different format, namely integrated programs. In this case, studying for a diploma with Management School St.Gallen is the right choice.
Did you know that your St.Gallen qualification is the first step towards a second and third qualification? Because our academic structure is modular all the way through, it is possible to supplement each St.Gallen program with a St.Gallen certificate on completion of a test. Most of our programs also offer the option to study for a St.Gallen diploma.
Which skill do you wish to train systematically? St.Gallen’s courses link a number of seminars to practice-oriented programs, including the individually tailored selection course.
Every course offers you the option of taking a final test, allowing you to enrich your profile with a St.Gallen certificate.
In addition to the course and final test, you also have the option of writing a topic-specific dissertation, thereby rounding off your training with a St.Gallen diploma.

With a St.Gallen degree, you can tailor your continuing education to your individual needs and ensure it is practice-oriented. The modular programs allow you to flexibly combine topics and thus gradually earn a recognized degree.
You decide which option best suits your needs.
Every step – course, certificate – is optional. This allows you to tailor your continuing education precisely to your goals and expand it flexibly as needed.
The program typically includes several (2, 3, or 4) elective seminar modules and serves as the foundation for the optional St.Gallen Certificate or Diploma.
You can complete the modules within 18 months – with full flexibility in choosing topics and dates.
In addition to the free combination of modules, you also have access to a selection of curated courses in which the modules are thematically coordinated. All modules are independent in content and do not build upon one another.
Upon completion of the St.Gallen Program, participants have the option to earn certification by taking a knowledge assessment, thereby completing the course with the St.Gallen Certificate.
The exam is typically administered immediately following the third module – ideally soon after, so that you can recall the material while it is still fresh. You take the exam on a date of your choosing. The exam is transfer-oriented and is prepared with guidance on relevant topics and exam formats.
The three modules of the program are completed over an 18-month period. The schedule within this timeframe is flexible – tailored to your professional situation. There is no set deadline for the optional certificate and diploma.
The knowledge assessment is typically taken after the third seminar – however, the exact timing is flexible, as is the format: it can be taken in person or online. We recommend taking it shortly after the final module.
